Demolition is set to begin on an un unfinished concrete parking garage at the site of the upcoming Miami Station, a 41-story mixed-use tower planned for 525 Northwest 2nd Avenue in Miami’s Overtown District. According to a recent publication on The Next Miami, the Related Group filed a notice of commencement on October 20th stating they will begin to demolish the structure, remnants of the former Krystal Tower that halted construction due to the Great Recession of 2008. BG Group is listed as the demolition contractor for the Miami Station development site.
Miami Station will yield approximately 752,89 square feet of space including 200,234 square feet of office space, 309 residential units, 8,508 square feet of retail space and a parking component fit for 510 vehicles. ODP Architecture & Design is behind the design of the glass and metal-clad structure, anticipated to make an architectural statement in the area with it’s diagrid framing and uniquely perforated podium. The architect further confirmed the news of the demolition of the existing structure via a post on the company’s Instagram account stating “Demolition commencing soon at the future site of Miami Station” on October 22nd.
